First, Happy New Year! I hope 2010 is wonderful to you (and me)!
Don’t you love the picture! It’s the only one Kat would stand for, she was tired. So, Happy New Year from the crew too!
We don’t do no posed pictures at our house because no one will sit still long enough for me to shoot the picture.
I got the idea for my post today from Closet 365. Her New Year’s Eve post was about her aspirations for 2010 with her new site. (Best of luck by the way! I think you’ll do great!) She asked us what our resolutions were for 2010. I don’t have any. I don’t do resolutions. I break them, the same day I make them. I posted some fashion critiques (of myself) and I thought that would be a good jumping off point for today.
Here we go!
Just because I stay home with 4 kids ALL day EVERY day, that does not give me the right to wear yoga pants and a t-shirt every day of my life.
A ponytail flipped under is not the only hairstyle there is.
Mascara is my friend….and lipstick….and eyeliner…and you get the point. Just because I’m home all day doesn’t mean I don’t have to make myself look nice. Pato might actually appreciate the effort.
Fake crocks with the wool inserts are not acceptable going out shoes every time I leave the house. Are they ever acceptable actually?
A nail file would not kill me.
There. Baby Steps. Like once a week I’ll break out a non-athletic outfit to start out with. Wouldn’t want to shock my system like some kind of really scary employee screening. Have you been through those BTW? I’ve taken 2 and they were easy. Maybe it’s because I’m naturally honest? I don’t know.
What happened to me? There was a day when I wouldn’t go up to the gas station without full make up on. Now they don’t know what I look like in full make up. Ok, they do, but they look shocked to see it.
Other aspirations for 2010. I will learn new recipes once a week and hold my breath while I test them out on feed my family a nice home cooked meal. These meals that I try once a week will not contain hamburger – the main part of any meal at our house because let’s face it, cooking is not my forte. It will be though! It will be. Ok, I will never be as good as Picky Palate, but I really want to be. Honestly, if I could take pictures half as well as she can, I’d be happy, screw the cooking, we’ve lived this long on hamburger, we’d be good.
Speaking of pictures, I’m going to attempt to do Project 365 this year. If you don’t know what Project 365 is, here’s a good description. I don’t think I’ll set up a whole new blog for it. I think I’ll just post it here. I’ve already got 2 blogs. I don’t need another. I take enough pictures of my kids anyway. Working in a picture a day shouldn’t be too hard for me. Got my first one up now, you can see it here.
I think that’s enough aspiring for me. If I start tearing my chocolate habit apart we’ll get nowhere fast. I try it every year and I lose. Let’s not set myself up for failure right at the beginning of a new decade.
So, what are your aspirations this year?
I was reading along my Twitter timeline yesterday and found a new New Year’s superstition. Thank you very much Ricky Martin. Now I have to worry that I’ll have bad luck for like 7 years or something because I didn’t do this.
Feeling lucky this year? Head over to Giveaway Chick, my other blog, and enter some giveaways!

Happy New Year! My only aspiration is to pass my registration exam to be a dietitian! Oh, and to try to extend God’s grace to others…kind of a BIG one!

WATER and EXERCISE!
I have not bought a coke since Christmas except if we have gone out to eat. I have lost 2.7 pounds. WOOT! LOL!
BTW, I totally understand the “what happened to me?” question. I, too, never left home without being fixed up 100%… now, my local gas station workers laugh if I *DO* wear shoes.

Ok you are my BFF! I just wrote a post today after being busy with family all week and I wrote that I don’t “DO” resolutions either!
Yay for us!!
How about this year we just wake up each day? That would be a good resultion, unless it backfires and we die, ’cause that would be bad.
I get dressed and do eyeshadow and eyeliner and mascara and lipstick, otherwise I would feel sick. I like to look good too, it gives me energy and I move faster if I feel I look good
I hate crocs on me, (I trip in them)but on my girls they are too, too cute.
Your kids are adorable and that Project 365 is a very good idea. Aren’t you supposed to scrap them too? That would be a lot of work. I would forget to scrap them and then in June I would have 100+ pics and forget what they meant – OK I would probably forget what yesterday’s pic meant.
